Waiting For A Friend: A Play

Waiting For A Friend is about a fifty-something-year old man who is confronted by the unexpected visit of his best friend, who died tragically when they were kids in high school.

The man must come to terms with his lost youth and innocence, and the unstoppable passage of time, while a painful but heartfelt conversation with his teenage friend puts into perspective a life cut short versus what it means to have lived a full life.


An abridged version of this play (23-minute time limit) was first showcased at the New York New Works Theatre Festival in Spetember 2016.
